Transmission Dip Stick

Second time my transmission dip stick on my 3rd gen has turned up broke ? Any recommendations ? I even changed oil change guys and told em to be carefull with it and still it's broke again and I'm getting tired of fishing them out...

Has anyone had this happen ?

Hasn't happened to me, but mines a 10 year old 2nd Gen. I guess they don't make them like they used to...

Gee, a member named dipstick and a thread about dipsticks. Hope you're not a one thread wonder.

Welcome newbie!!

I haven't broke mine yet, but it feels like I am going to every time I check my tranny fluid.

Mine is definetly not smooth when it goes in. In fact, I have to fish it around quite a bit.

My best advice is to be more careful, and not ram it in there.

Where is it breaking? At the bottom, middle, or top (by the handle)?
